Historical Traveler Reviews Antlers Hilton Colorado Springs

Not bad...

from JackSD

Hilton seems to have slightly upgraded this hotel since it was part of the Adams Mark chain a couple of years ago (excellent beds being one result), and the responsiveness and professionalism of the staff are conspicuous. As I stayed there in June 2006, they were continuing to make little upgrades (such as replacing plastic trays holding toiletries in the bathrooms with sterling silver trays). The principal problem is an older physical plant that cosmetic changes can't fix. The combination of old a/c-heating units and the dry Colorado air can leave you feeling like a dried-up old shoe in the morning. I suggested that they furnish humidiers on request, and the front desk agreed that that was a good idea, and they had a few, but it didn't seem like a management priority. Other minor aesthetic problems -- the heavy dark roadside steakhouse atmosphere of the restaurant, for example -- and stocking only a few copies of serious newspapers in the gift shop, show that this hotel is not quite able to deliver a consistently enjoyable experience to business travelers. One other complaint, which applies to Marriott generally: Putting credit-card swiping contraptions on your business-center computers, and charging astronomical rates for computer time, undercut the chain's claim to being business-friendly. PC use in the business centers of other rate-comparable hotels is often free.

Never again

from DCtraveler68

This hotel is in need of renovations. The bathrooms are small -- and were not very clean. The room layout was terrible. There was no way to put to fit the desk chair between the desk and the bed. In fact, when I arrived, the desk chair was on the opposite side of the room, just sitting awkwardly in the open. AC was also pretty ineffective in my room. On the plus side, there is some fun stuff within walking distance.

Love Antlers Hilton

from vic50

My husband and I love the Antlers Hilton in Colorado Springs. We fly in from Dallas at least twice a year

for a long weekend of dancing, dining and shopping.

The Staff at the Antlers Hilton are always overly

helpful. They even have a driver you can hire if you don't want a rent car or take a taxi places.

The rooms are so comfortable you don't want to leave them! And the appletini's in the bar are to die for.

Needless to say we are at this moment making reservations once again. We prefer this hotel even to The Broadmoor and that is saying alot.

Nice, expensive, moderate rooms

from anonymous

The hotel is quite nice with an updated mountain feel to it. My room was not huge, but comfortable. The underground parking was $10/night, which I thought was kind of expensive for Colorado Springs. It is within walking distance of downtown areas and freeway close. I liked the pool and health facilities, which seem like they were added on somewhat recently.

Excellent Hotel!

from Upscale_Traveler

As far as I can tell, there are two nice hotels to stay at if you are visiting the Colorado Springs area: The Broadmoor or Antlers Hilton.

We wanted to stay at The Broadmoor, but it was booked solid. So, after doing some research we decided on the Antlers Hilton. Other than the Broadmoor, it was the only hotel in the area that offered room service, and had a nice onsite restaurant.

Although the rooms are probably above average, at best, I have to say the location of the hotel, service and onsite restaurant/room service more than establish Antlers as a great place if you are staying in Colorado Springs. We found that we could get to nearly any major local attraction within minutes - from Manitou Springs to Seven Falls to whatever....

We will stay again if we return to the area!

Elegant and Comfortable

from anonymous

My husband and I stayed one night at this hotel during the MS-150 road bike event this summer. We were thrilled with the elegance of the hotel, and wished we had more time to relax and enjoy it. The bed was incredibly comfortable, made it hard to get up at 5 AM the next morning! The hot tub and pool were wonderful. The only thing that surprised us was the small size of the bathroom - that is what gave it away as an older hotel. There was live music in the lobby that evening, and nice historic photographs in the rooms.

Loved the Antler's Hilton

from anonymous

We stayed at the Antler's Hilton for six nights in June, 2005. We were there with several members of our family and we all agree that it is a great place to stay. The people that clean the rooms were excellent. We never saw the

person because we were sightseeing every day but when we returned to

our room in the late afternoon, it was neat and clean. We enjoyed everything about staying there.

Very nicely remodeled

from Misfit22

Just finished a three night stay at Antlers Hilton. They are on the tail end of a large remodel of this older building. The room was large (although the bathroom was kind of smallish--but that's not something they can change too easily). I was given a corner room, and the windows were large and wrapped around both sides of the room with wide window sills.

There was a brand new leather chair, very comfortable, with a footstool. As I like to read my book, I was in heaven. The bedding was new and the pillows were large, plentiful and fluffy. There was even turn down service with chocolates.

Breakfast in the dining room was good, no problems with service. I had dinner one night in the lounge as the newly remodeled restaurant wasn't quite opened for dinner. The bartender said that menu was going to be out of this world. Had a sandwich at Judge Baldwins (their casual brew pub). Very good sandwich and excellent fries.

Really can't complain except for the smallish bathroom. The location was excellent for hopping onto the freeway to get to attractions I wanted to see.

Nice enough

from wise2374

Arrived in town on business without a reservation and was able to get a solid rate. The hotel is very picturesque from the outside, and has a very nice lobby and public spaces. Rooms were big but the furnishings, TV, bathroom were only so-so - surprising given the rest of the hotel.

But the town itself is adorable, with some good reasonable restaurants.

Perfect!

Great Hotel! Product and service at the Broadmoor level without the price!The conference I attended went perfect, excellent food, great service and an attentive and concerned staff. Front desk the most well run and courteous I have ever encountered.I will definetly stay again when business or personal travel takes me to Colorado Springs.

... it wasn't on this route. We headed for Breckenridge to have a look see. I LOVED it there. Neat little town. I'm in love. Someday I'll (we'll) go back when it's covered in white but for today, it is beautiful in shades of green. First things first, the kids had to stick their feet in the river which was ice cold. There was a young boy trying to beat "someone's" record for standing in the river. He was in for 9 minutes. He only came out because ...

It's really a beautiful drive. We spent the day there , returned to Colorado Springs thru the usual afternoon rain shower. I took a picture from our patio, of a ...

... closer to the departing time, the announcement that the flight was overbooked was made. They were offering a $200 voucher and transfer to a later flight. I would have jumped at the opportunity, because free money is well free money, but the new flight times didn't line up.
